Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.

Zero As A Limit
Take the lovebird
Kiss the stranger
Leave the trailer
Take the car
Feel the sound rushing over you
Qed
See my finger
The way it points you
Follow blindly
Into the road
Feel the sound rushing over you
Qed
See the stranger
Getting nearer
Iron teardrop
Collision course
Feel the sound rushing over you
Qed
See the blood now
Overflowing
No more compression
Compression done
Feel the sound rushing over you
Qed
I saw it happen
You saw it happen
We saw it happen
It can't be true
The stranger crashing into you
I saw it happen
You saw it happen
We saw it happen
It can't be true
(repeat four times) the stranger crashing into you
(repeat ten times) into you

A Culture
You are 20 miles away from wisdom and,
I am 60 miles awy from you with the facts of life;
And like the little doctrines and the rules which may delay a culture,
For hatred is also in our own rooms and on our own tables.
Real or artificial to you may sound as if to crown the muse,
But do walk around the town to see things for yourselves;
And of an education of words without the broom!
Let wisdom reign to the charging of mankind.
You are satisfied with yourself and i am with my muse also,
But a culture of value is what i need;
For you've been delayed by the doctrines of your culture in this life!

Neptune
Nobody seems to dream of visits on Neptune.
With a giving of its wonder and suspense.
There is nobody that seems to speak with curiosity,
Of how life lived on Neptune would be.
What is it about it that escapes wishes to adventure it?
Does it not appear to be intimate?
What is it about it.
Is it too far out there for imaginary visits?
What is it about it.
Is it too much like Uranus?
And Saturn and Jupiter have captured its magic.
What is it about it.
Although depicted by the Romans as god of the seas...
Neptune is rarely mentioned or romanticized,
As a place to be!
What is it about it that escapes our fantasies.
Eight from the Sun to see in orbit.
But no one mentions Neptune for that odyssey.
What is it about it.
So vast it is...
Sixty Earths could sit within its grasp.
But no one wishes a visit with it.
Nobody seems to dream of visits on Neptune.
With a giving of its wonder and suspense.
There is nobody that seems to speak with curiosity,
Of how life lived on Neptune would be.
What is it about it that escapes wishes to adventure it?
Does it not appear to be intimate?
What is it about it.
Is it too far out there for imaginary visits?
What is it about it.
Is it too much like Uranus?

You Sound Like You're Sick
Well I can't understand
anything about you
help you if I can
What can I do
Here's your new home
That's where you must be
in the institution
'Cause you're so lazy
But if you must act up
again and again
'cause everybody knows
You're a hopeless problem
here's your new home
that's where you must be
in the institution
'cause you're so lazy
You sound like you're sick
You look like your sick too
You sound like you're sick
but if you must act up
(repeat)
you sound like you're sick
(repeat)
well I can't understand
anything about you
(repeat verse)
You sound like you're sick
You look like you're sick too
you sound like you're sick
you sound like you're sick
You look like you're sick too
Well you sound like you're sick
You sound like you're sick

It's Only Because of You
I'm a canary trapped in my cage.
I'm the words not on a page.
I'm a leafless tree in the fall.
I'm Cinderella left at the ball.
But I know this can't be true
and it's only because of you,
only because of you.
*** So I will change my ways
until I'm free again.
I will change these days
and let these feelings end.
I'm the desert without any rain.
I'm the thoughts I can't explain.
I'm the wind that has no sound.
I'm the fish afraid to drown
But I know this can't be true
and it's only because of you,
only because of you.

War of any kind is abhorrent. Remember that since the end of World War II, over 40 million people have been killed by conventional weapons. So, if we should succeed in averting nuclear war, we must not let ourselves be sold the alternative of conventional weapons for killing our fellow men. We must cure ourselves of the habit of war.

True Love
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If youre not sure he holds your heart
Dont let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all Im after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is its true love
Its true love
I hear your voice in every sound
Youre never there when I turn around
I need true love
I cant quit and I wont give in
Until youre back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you you look right through me
I wish you knew
What your loves done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...

We Are One
You are not alone and how long can you run
Its much to late if you dont know what youve got til its gone
Once upon a time you were a child but that was yesterday
Believed that magic in your heart would never fade away
But hold your head up high and let your spirits fly
Keep hope alive yes deep inside and your dreams will never die
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
Oooh take a breath, close your eyes youre on the road again
And then you realize theyve brought you back to life again
Somethings never change but if you fantasize
Youll feel it deep inside yourself and then youll realize
When you feel it coming
When you hear the sound
Youll always laugh when you wanna cry
And then youll know it deep inside
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
You are me, I am you
What you see, is all true
(its all true)
You are me, I am you
What you see, is all true
(its all true)
You are me, I am you
(we are one)
What you see, is all true
(I am you) (we are one) (its all true)
You are me, I am you
(we are one)
What you see, is all true
(we are one)
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one

First The Lightning Then The Rain
First comes her lightning..
then her rain
first her humor
with kindness in its train
First the baptism by fire
and then water's laving
First Uranus
.. the way for Neptune paving
She does not in Uranian ways
laugh in her sacred church
.. but issues lightning bolts
of compassion from the pulpit
Uranus must twice revolve
to equal Neptune's once resolve

Be With You
I used to hang out every night
Used to go from club to club
Looking for true love
But now I found that love in you
No longer have to sleep around
Cuz I have you, baby
[1] - girl, Im always thinking about you
And all the things you do for me
Makes me so happy
And girl, when ever you need me
My love is always here for you
Babe, I really wanna be with you
[2] - theres so much out there for me
But the only thing I want
Is to be with you
So many places I can be
But the only thing I want
Is to be with you
Baby, Ive traveled all around the world
Seen alot of girls but none
Can compare to you
No matter how far I may go
Ill always know that home is you
And thats where I wanna be
[repeat 1]
[repeat 2]
[3] - every hour of the day
My thoughts are always of you
You are always in my mind
Cant stand to be apart
Whenever were not together
It seems like forever
Daydreamin about you
I really wanna be with you
[repeat 2]
[repeat 2]
[repeat 3]
[repeat 2 until fade]

Can You Hear Me ?
So you send them back
And I began to cry
But I can let you know
That I will let you go
You cover up your smile
And Im afraid to move
This time I get it right
Ill get somebody new
Youve got to sound that you mean it
(ooooh, ooooh)
(can you hear me)
Youve got to mean that you want it
(ooooh, ooooh)
(can you hear me)
(repeat paragraph)
Hey, when did this all start
Your (? ) stuff is your heart
And I have a night
When everything goes right

Too late to carry on
If I have a day
When everything goes wrong
Youve got to sound that you mean it
(ooooh, ooooh)
(can you hear me)
Youve got to mean that you want it
(ooooh, ooooh)
(can you hear me)
(repeat paragraph)
(? ) on your door step every night
Until I get to see you
I spend my weekends on the phone
Ill make you listen
Ill write a letter every single day
Until I get an answer
Im gonna try every single way
I know, Im gonna find you
Youve got to sound that you mean it
(ooooh, ooooh)
(can you hear me)
Youve got to mean that you want it
(ooooh, ooooh)

Autumn Goodbye
Chorus: I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldnt make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
Autumn goodbye
Thinkin of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
So sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds
Pre chorus: from april through september
Bittersweet was the love that we share
Dont forget
I remember
Repeat chorus (2x)
Memories can fade
But my heart has a place
For the smile on your face
And maybe someday
We can be more than friends
Love will find us again
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed
Repeat chorus (2x)
Repeat pre chorus
Repeat chorus (2x)
Well leave behind
The summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We wont forget
The day we met
The day we cried
Autumn goodbye

True Love

Chorus:
True love is the answer to everything
True love is the answer
True love is the thing
Long days spent on the edge of space oh
Maybe someone will come along love
All day with every familiar face oh
Tells me youre very very wrong love
Repeat chorus
This dance could never be true enough oh
Theres more that leads us to our destiny
Entranced we travelled the two of us oh
And I knew that only you could rest the world for me
I live deep in the heart of things
Feel such a part of things
That remind me of you love
And I know whatever the future brings
Wherever the pointer swings
There will always be true love
You love
